Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What Is a Principal Amount?

Principal amount on a loan is the amount borrowed. To better understand, let's look at the story of John. When John bought his first car he didn't have enough money to pay for it in cash, so he had to take out a loan. He borrowed $7,500. According to the terms of the loan, John had to pay it off in five years with an interest rate of 10%. The initial amount that he borrowed, or the $7,500, is called the principal amount of the loan. Keep in mind that the principal amount applies to more than just loans. It can also apply to money that is invested or deposited into an account. For example, if you open a savings account with a $700 deposit, the principal amount is $700.

What About Interest?

Principal amount does not include interest, or a rate paid as a fee for borrowing money. To figure out the amount of interest John paid during the five years, you can use the simple interest formula, which is a formula to calculate interest paid only on the principal amount. This formula is:

or interest equals principal amount times interest rate times amount of time. Using this formula, you will find that the amount of interest on John's $7,500 loan was $3,750. So, at the end of five years, he would end up paying a total of $11,250. This does not include any additional fees that may apply.

Principal Amount Formulas

For John's loan, we were given the principal amount and used it to find the amount of interest. What if we already know the interest rate, amount of interest, and amount of time, but we need to find out the principal amount? We can rearrange the interest formula, I = PRT to calculate the principal amount. The new, rearranged formula would be P = I / (RT), which is principal amount equals interest divided by interest rate times the amount of time.

Let's try this out by finding the principal amount of a loan that has a total interest amount of $18,500 and an annual interest rate of 6.5% over 12 years.

To solve, we input the values into the equation, P = I / (RT). This gives us:

P = $18,500 / (0.065 * 12) = $23,718

The principal amount of the loan is $23,718.

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

a car covers a distance of 490 km with a speed of 70km and then covers a speed of 90km calculate its average speed
DaniilM [7]
Average speed = total distance divided by total time.

In the first part, the car covered 490 km in 7 hours, but I think you mistyped the second part (“then covers a speed of 90km”) and a critical piece is missing to find the total distance and time.

A car completes a journey at an average speed of 40km/h.At what speed must it travel on the return journey if the average speed
nalin [4]
The distance, s = 40t₁ where t₁ is the time to complete the outward journey.
The same distance = vt₂ where t₂ is the time to complete the return journey at speed v.
For the whole journey, 2s=60(t₁+t₂). Therefore s=30(t₁+t₂)=40t₁=vt₂.
30t₁+30t₂=40t₁, 10t₁=30t₂, t₁=3t₂, so s=120t₂=vt₂ and v=120kph.
